 Program Overview  study in america

Lakehead University's new Master of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering (MSc ENG) program is primarily for students who hold bachelor's degrees in electrical, computer or software engineering. The program aims to produce highly qualified engineers who are prepared to take on advanced positions in industry or pursue opportunities in academia.
   In the master's program, students undertake graduate coursework and thesis work. The course requirements are: four half-courses and a graduate seminar. The student choice of courses must be approved by the supervisor and the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee. (One of the half-courses can be a senior undergraduate elective from a department other than Electrical or Software Engineering, or a graduate half-course from another program.) Students in the Electrical & Computer Engineering program are also given the opportunity to instruct laboratory courses, mark assignments and counsel undergraduate students.
   MSc ENG candidates must also complete a thesis. Candidates generate a topic, review the existing literature, write a proposal, conduct research, prepare the thesis paper, and subject it to qualified review. The thesis must demonstrate the student's ability to undertake independent research and produce meaningful work in an academic environment.
   Generally, MSc ENG candidates are expected to complete all degree requirements within two years of their program start date. Additional details on the "Period of Study" are provided in the Lakehead University course calendar.

 Admissions  study in america

To be considered for admission to the Electrical & Computer Engineering program, applicants must have a bachelor's degree in electrical, software or computer engineering with a minimum 70 per cent average. Proficiency in English is required. Admission to the program depends on space availability and on the committee's appraisal of the applicant's aptitude for graduate studies and research. Those who lack specific undergraduate credits must complete the appropriate coursework at Lakehead, as recommended by the Engineering Graduate Studies Committee.
   In most cases, Lakehead will permit credit transfers of a maximum of two graduate half-courses. In some cases, the committee will permit credit transfer of three half-courses.
